The Home for Odd, Ugly and Neglected Toys

Well, look at what we have here – if it ain't another bootleg toy. This guy looks like the bastard offspring of the Terminator's T-800 and Spaceballs' Dot Matrix (I could've said C-3PO, but that's a bit too creepy). I didn't even know robots could have sex.

The figure looks pretty goofy (Well, he's not an "action figure" as much as he is a "statue." He isn't poseable at all.)... maybe something you'd find in the grocery store's toy section . He was probably hanging alongside those mini police badge sets and other crummy Japanese imports (I've never understood why grocery stores have such shitty toy selection. Maybe I can do a future blog post about that).

But beyond the fact that he's a robotic endoskeleton (with a goofy grin), look at his arm. No. the other one. The missing one.

He's lost an arm! Just like the terminators did in the first couple of movies.

Actually, when I first saw the toy, I just thought I'd found a broken, old bootleg. Turns out, the toy was actually produced with the missing arm. Isn't that great? I guess they wanted it to be semi-accurate to the Terminator movies, and they just used the bronzy-copperish color scheme to throw-off the lawyers.

And lastly, we have the big, honkin' chest plate sticker. I don't understand and have yet to find out what the lightning bolt, triangles and initials "S.P." stand for. Is this guy the member of some bootleg superhero team? Is this their team logo?

S.P.

Super-powered?

Silent Partner?

Socialist Party?

South Park?

Any information would be greatly appreciated... or any other likely solutions for the S.P. problem.

if i remember correctly bro, this figure is from a shooting game, there is a silver one, a gold one, and a black one, and u fire darts at them from a gun, mite be wrong? but i have a pretty good memory!
lemme know if thats any help, wikid sight btw!

I automatically assumed that the S.P. stood for Space Police. I think I recall seeing these for a while at the two local state fairs in Alaska – the Palmer State Fair and the Kenai Peninsula State Fair. Heck, they may STILL sell them there; I sort of stopped shopping at those places due to a lack of funds and them all getting to be severely expensive (what used to cost $5 for those large cardboard sheets with stuff like this for target practice and such now costs $20).

I’m Justin Gammon. I'm a designer/illustrator by day and toy-blogger by night. That'll explain my sporadic postings. What do you mean you want to write to me? That's odd. Hey, while you're at it, would you send me some cool toys? Thanks!
